Description: SOLID STATE MICRO-MACHINED MASS SPECTROGRAPH UNIVERSAL GAS DETECTION SENSOR Government Contract The Government of the United States of America has rights in this invention pursuant to Contract No. 92-F-141500-000, awarded by the United States Department of Defense, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention: This invention relates to a gas-detection sensor and more particularly to a solid state mass spectrograph which is micro-machined on a semiconductor substrate. Background Information: Various devices are currently available for determining the quantity and type of molecules present in a gas sample. One such device is the mass- spectrometer. Mass-spectrometers determine the quantity and type of molecules present in a gas sample by measuring their masses. This is accomplished by ionizing a small sample and then using electric and/or magnetic fields to find the charge-to-mass ratio of the ion. Current mass-spectrometers are bulky, bench top- sized instruments. These mass spectrometers are heavy (100 pounds) and expensive. Their big advantage is that they can be used in any environment. Another device used to determine the quantity and type of molecules present in a gas sample is a chemical sensor. These can be purchased for a low cost, but these sensors must be calibrated to work in a specific environment and are sensitive to a limited number of chemicals. Therefore, multiple sensors are needed in complex environments. A need exists for a low-cost gaseous detection sensor that will work in any environment. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This need and others are satisfied by the invention which is directed 1 to a solid state mass spectrograph which is implemented on a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate is micro-machined to form a cavity which has an inlet, and a gas ionizing section adjacent the inlet, followed by a mass filter section, which in turn is followed by a detector section. A vacuum means evacuates the cavity and draws a sample gas into the cavity through the inlet. Gas ionizing 10. means formed in the gas ionizing section of the cavity in the substrate ionizes the sample gas drawn into the cavity through the inlet. The ionized gas passes into mass filter means formed in the mass filter section of the cavity. This mass filter, which is preferably a Wien filter, filters the ionized gas by mass/charge ratio. Detector means in the detector section of the cavity detect this mass/charge ratio H filtering of the ionized sample gas. Preferably, the detector means simultaneously detects a plurality of the gas constituents in the sample gas and comprises an array of detector elements. More particularly, a linear array of detector elements lies in the plane in which the mass filter disperses ions of the sample gas based upon their mass/charge ratio. The detector array is located at the end of the cavity in the 20 substrate and has pairs of converging electrodes formed on the substrate which serve as Faraday cages to gather ions for application to detector cells which are preferably charge coupled devices located in the substrate outside the cavity. In the preferred form of the invention, the substrate is formed in two parts joined along parting surfaces extending through the cavity. The detector cells 21 are formed in a recess in the parting surface of one of the halves of the semiconductor substrate. The cavity in the semiconductor substrate is divided by partitions into a number of compartments with aligned apertures providing a path for the sample gas to pass from the inlet, through the ionizer, and into the mass filter. A vacuum 20 is drawn from each of these compartments to effect differential pumping which reduces the capacity required of the vacuum pump. The gas ionizer is preferably a solid state electron emitter formed in the substrate in the gas ionizing section of the cavity. Electrodes formed on the apertured partitions between the electron emitter and the mass filter serve as ion optics which accelerate and focus the ions into a beam for introduction into the mass 1 filter. As mentioned, the mass filter is preferably a Wien filter. The magnetic field can be generated by permanent magnets surrounding the semiconductor substrate or by magnetic films formed on the walls of the cavity. The electric field of the Wien filter is generated by electrodes formed on opposite β walls of the cavity in the filter section. The solid state mass spectrograph of the invention is a small, low power, easily transportable versatile device which can detect multiple constituents of a sample gas simultaneously. When produced in sufficient quantity, it will be a low cost sensor which will find wide application.

Figure 11 is a fragmentary plan view of a modified embodiment of the detector array in accordance with the invention. Description of the Preferred Embodiments Q A functional diagram of the spectrograph 1 of the invention is illustrated in Figure 1. This mass spectrograph 1 is capable of simultaneously detecting a plurality of constituents in a sample gas. The sample gas enters the spectrograph 1 through dust filter 3 which keeps particulates from clogging the gas sampling path. The sample gas then moves through a sample orifice 5 to a gas 1 ionizer 7 where it is ionized by electron bombardment, energetic particles from nuclear decays or in a radio frequency induced plasma. Next, ion optics 9 accelerate and focus the ions through a mass filter 11. The mass filter 11 applies a strong electromagnetic field to the ion beam. Mass filters which utilize primarily magnetic fields appear to be the best suited for the miniature mass spectrograph of Q the invention since the required magnetic field of about one Tesla (10,000 Gauss) is easily achieved in a compact, permanent magnet design. Ions of the sample gas that are accelerated to the same energy will describe circular paths when exposed in the mass filter 11 to a homogeneous magnetic field perpendicular to the ion's direction of travel. The radius of the arc of the path is dependent upon the ion's 5 mass-to-charge ratio. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the mass filter 11 is a Wien filter in which crossed electrostatic and magnetic fields produce a constant velocity-filtered ion beam 13 in which the ions are dispersed according to their mass/charge ratio in a dispersion plane which is in the plane of Figure 1. Alternatively, a magnetic sector could be used for the mass filter 11 ; however, the Q Wien filter is more compact and additional range and resolution can be obtained by sweeping the electric field. A vacuum pump 15 creates a vacuum in the mass filter 11 to provide a collision-free environment for the ions. This is needed to prevent error in the ions trajectories due to these collisions. The mass-filtered ion beam is collected in an ion detector 17. This 1 ion detector 17 is a linear array of detector elements which makes possible the simultaneous detection of a plurality of the constituents of the sample gas. A microprocessor 19 analyzes the detector output to determine the chemical makeup of the sampled gas using well-known algorithms which relate the velocity of the ions and their mass. The results of the analysis generated by the microprocessor 19 are I . provided to an output device 21 which can comprise an alarm, a local display, a transmitter and/or data storage. The display can take the form shown at 21 in Figure 1 in which the constituents of the sample gas are identified by the lines measured in atomic mass units (AMU). The mass spectrograph 1 is implemented in a semiconductor chip 23 15. as illustrated in Figure 2. In the exemplary spectrograph 1, the chip 23 is about 20 mm long, 10 mm wide and 0.8 mm thick. This chip 23 comprises a substrate of semiconductor material formed in two halves 25a and 25b which are joined along longitudinally extending parting surfaces 27A and 27b. The two substrates halves 25a and 25b form at their parting surfaces 27a and 27b an elongated cavity 29. 2D This cavity 29 has an inlet section 31 , a gas ionizing section 33, a mass filter section 35 and a detector section 37. A number of partitions 39 formed in the substrate extend across the cavity 29 forming chambers 41. These chambers are interconnected by aligned apertures 43 in the partitions 39 in the half 25a which define the path of the gas through the cavity 29. The vacuum pump 15, shown in 25 Figure 1 , is connected to each of the chambers 41 through lateral passages 45 formed in the confronting surfaces 27a and 27b. This arrangement provides differential pumping of the chambers 41 and makes it possible to achieve the pressures required in the mass filter and detector sections with a miniature vacuum pump. As mentioned previously, any collision between an ion and a gas molecule 20 will randomize the ion's trajectory reducing the desired ion current and raising the background. The mean free path is the average distance that a gas molecule travels under conditions of temperature and pressure before encountering another gas molecule. The mean-free path of a gas molecule in air at ambient temperature is about 1cm at a pressure on the order of 10 mTorr. The inlet section 31 of the cavity 29 is provided with a dust filter 47 which can be made of porous silicon or sintered metal. The inlet section 31 includes several of the apertured partitions 39 and; therefore, several chambers 41. The gas ionizing section 33 of the cavity 29 houses a gas ionizing system 49 which includes a gas ionizer 51 and ionizer optics 53. The gas sample drawn into the mass spectrograph 1 consists of neutral atoms and molecules. To be sensed, a fraction of these neutrals must be ionized. Different ionization schemes exist, such as photo-ionization, field ionization or chemical ionization; however, the most commonly used ionization technique in mass spectrometers and spectrograph s is ionization by electronic impact. In this technique, an electron gun (e-gun) accelerates electrons which bombard the gas molecules and disassociatively ionize them. The most common electron emitter in mass spectrometers uses refractory metal wire which when heated undergoes thermionic electronic emission. These can be scaled down using photolithrography to micron sized dimensions. However, thermionic emitters require special coatings to resist oxidation and are power hungry, but are capable of producing relatively large amounts of electron current, approximately 1mA. Due to the sensitivity of the detectors used in the subject spectrograph to be discussed below, and to the higher gas pressure in the ionization section made possible by the differential vacuum pumping, much smaller electron beam currents, about 1 μ_ are required of the e-gun. Two emitters developed by the assignee of the subject invention can meet this requirement. The first is the field effect cold cathode emitter which uses a sharpened point or edges to create a high electric field region which enhances electron emission. Such cathodes have been tested up to 50μ- beam current, and are readily fabricated by semi-conductor lithographic techniques. One disadvantage of field emission cold cathode is the tendency to foul from contaminants in the test gas, therefore, differential pumping of the cathode would be required. The second e-gun scheme is the reverse bias p-n junction which is less prone to fouling and is, therefore, the preferred electron emitter for the spectrograph of the invention. The reverse bias p-n junction sends an electron current racing through the solid state circuit. Near the surface, the very shallow junction permits a fraction of a highest energy of electrons to escape into the vacuum. Such small electron currents are required that a thin gold film will produce the desired emissions over a long time. The ion optics 53 comprise electrodes 55 on several of the apertured partitions 39. The ion optics 53 accelerate the ions and collimate the ion beam for introduction into the mass filter 11. The mass filter 11 is located at the mass filter section 35 of the cavity 29. The preferred embodiment of the invention utilizes a permanent magnet 57 which reduces power consumption. This permanent magnet 57 has upper and lower pole pieces 57a and 57b, see Figure 3, which straddle the substrate halves 25a and 25b and produce a magnetic field which is perpendicular to the path of the ions. The orthogonal electric field for the Wien filter used in the preferred embodiment of the invention is produced by opposed electrodes 59 formed on the side walls 61 of the mass filter section 35 of the cavity 29. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, additional pairs of opposed trimming electrodes 63 are spaced along the top and bottom walls of the mass filter section 35 of the cavity 29. A spectrum of voltages is applied to these additional electrodes to make the electric field between the electrodes 59 uniform. These additional electrodes 63 are made of non-magnetic, electrically conductive material such as gold so that they do not interfere with the magnetic field produced by the permanent magnet 57. These electrodes 63 are deposited on an insulating layer of silicon dioxide 64a and 64b lining the cavity 29. As an alternative to the permanent magnet 57, the magnetic field for the mass filter 11 can be generated by a magnetic film 65 deposited on the insulating silicon dioxide layers 64a and 64b on the top and bottom walls of the mass filter section 35 of the cavity 29 as shown in Figure 4. In this embodiment, the electric field trimming electrodes 63 are deposited on an insulating layer of silicon dioxide 66a and 66b covering the magnetic film 65. The ion detector 17 is a linear array 67 of detector elements 69 oriented in the dispersion plane 71 (perpendicular to the planes of Figures 3 and 4) at the end of the detector section 37 of the cavity 29. The exemplary array 67 has 64 detector elements or channels 69. The detector elements 69 each include a Faraday cage formed by a pair of converging electrodes 73a and 73b formed on the surfaces of a v-shaped groove 75 formed in the end of the cavity 29. The Faraday cages increase signal strength by gathering ions that might be slightly out of the 5 dispersion plane 71 , through multiple collisions. The electrodes 73a and 73b of the Faraday cage extend beyond the end of the cavity 29 along the parting surfaces 27a and 27b of the substrate halves 29a and 29b. These electrodes 73a and 73b are plated onto the insulating layers 64a and 64b of silicon dioxide formed in the two substrate halves 25a and 25b. The Ifi electrode 73b extends into a recess 79 in the insulating silicon dioxide layer 77b to form a capacitor pad for a charge coupled device (CCD) or metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) switch device 81 formed in the substrate half 25b. The ions are dispersed by the mass filter 11 in the dispersion plane 71 to strike a detector element as determined by their mass/charge ratio. When the ion strikes the 11 electrode 73a or 73b of the detector element 69, its charge is neutralized. The charge required to neutralize the ion is read out by the CCD or MOS 81. Isolating electrodes 83a and 83b extend transversely across the upper and lower walls of the cavity 29 between the detector electrodes 73 and the electrodes of the mass filter section. These electrodes 83a and 83b are grounded to 20 isolate the detector elements from the fields of the mass filter. A sealant 85 fills the recess 79 and joins the two substrate halves 25a and 25b. Figure 5 shows the circuit arrangement for multiplexed operation of an ion detector array 67. In this scheme, the ions are incident on one electrode of the capacitors, C. of the detector elements 69. The ionic charge is neutralized by 21 the sensor capacitor electrodes 73b leaving behind a net positive charge on the sensor capacitors, C s . The total ionic charge on each capacitor C_ is integrated over an integration period, for example, 90 msec, in the exemplary embodiment of the invention. During this time, multiplexer switches 87^^ shown in Figure 5 are in the off condition and are designed to provide very low leakage to improve the 20 sensitivity of detection. At the end of the integration period the multiplexer switches are sequentially turned on to discharge the accumulated charge on the sensor capacitors onto the much larger gate capacitance of an electrometer amplifier FET 89. The change in gate voltage due to these additional charges is amplified and converted to an output current signal by the electrometer 89. To improve the sensitivity of detection it is necessary to minimize the noise introduced by the electrometer 89 and the multiplexer switches 87 in the circuit. For this reason, P- channel MOSFETs were chosen for these devices since they have much lower noise than N-channel devices. To further reduce noise and minimize the effect of switching transients a technique called Correlated Double Sampling (CDS) 91 is used, to process the output current signal from the electrometer. The CDS scheme utilizes a four cycle operation for signal readout as shown in the timing diagram of Figure 6. In this scheme the gate of the electrometer 89 is first reset to a reference voltage V R by turning a reset switch 93 on during a reset period. At the end of the reset period, the gate voltage of the electrometer 89 is slightly different from V R due to noise and switching transients. For this reason the output current of the electrometer 89 is measured during a clamp period and stored in offchip capacitors. The next operation is to turn one of the multiplexer switches 87 on to discharge the integrated charge on the sensor capacitor onto the electrometer gate. The output current of the electrometer 89, which is dependent on the amount of charge discharged into the gate, is then measured during the sampling period. The difference in the output current values obtained in the sampling and clamp periods is proportional to the integrated ionic charge which is the desired signal. This four cycle operation is then repeated for the remainder of the array. The differencing procedure used in CDS substantially reduces switching transient effects, reduces reset noise, and also reduces noise arising from the electrometer 89. The various timing signals required for the detector array can be generated with digital circuits 95 preferably made with CMOS to reduce power dissipation. In the exemplary embodiment of the invention, dynamic shift registers have been used to generate the multiplexer timing signals. Off-chip circuitry is used to generate the remaining control signals such as the blooming control signal which limits the amount of charge which can reside on a sensor capacitor, so that small signals on adjacent sensor capacitors can be determined without cross talk interference from charges induced from high signal sensor capacitors. A plan view of one embodiment of the linear detector array 67 is shown in Figure 7. As can be seen from Figures 7 and 8, the Cr/Au ion sensor 1 metal 73b which forms one/half of the Faraday cage for each of the sensor elements 69 extends through via opening 97 in a dielectric layer 99 on the chip to contact an aluminum metal lead 101 embedded in the substrate 103. As shown in Figures 7 and 9 lead 101 extends over a p-- implant region 105 and is separated therefrom by a thin, such as 1,000-3,000 angstrom thick, dielectric layer 107. The lead 101 ID forms one plate, and the p+ implant 105 forms the other plate of the capacitor C.. The P+ implant 105 is connected to ground through an aluminum ground contact lead 109 which extends parallel to the lead 101. The p+ implant 105 is formed in the substrate 103 and is electrically connected to the ground contact lead 109 through an opening in the dielectric layer 107. In the exemplary embodiment of the 11 invention, the field oxide layer 99 is silicone dioxide about 8,000 angstroms thick. As can be seen from Figure 7, all of the ground contacts 109 from each of the detector elements 69 are connected to a transverse ground lead 113 through via openings 115. The aluminum lead 101 for each of the detector elements 69 extends 2Q to and contacts a p-t- implant 117 of the P-channel MOSFET multiplexer switch 87. The gate electrode 119 of each of the switches 187 is connected to a lead 121 which extends to the CMOS control circuit 95. The p+ implant regions 117 of all of the switches 87 are connected by a common lead 123 to the reset switch 93 which is also a P-channel MOSFET. The lead 123 is also connected to the gate of the 21 electrometer amplifier FET 89. The n-wells of all of the P-channel MOSFET multiplexer switches 87 identified by the reference character 125 are joined as shown in Figures 7 and 10 at one end. As shown in Figure 10, aluminum contacts 127 are provided at openings 129 in the oxide layer 107 to reduce the electrical resistance across the 30 connected n-wells. An n + layer improves electrical contact between the n-wells 125 and the aluminum contacts 127. A lead 131 connected to the n-wells carries the blooming control signal. Figure 11 shows a modified embodiment of the detector array 67' . In this array, the sensor electrodes 73b ' of the Faraday cages are surrounded by a grounded electrode 133 to provide better channel separation. These electrodes 133 are grounded through the lead 135 and provide a path to ground for the capacitor ground electrodes 109 connected to the electrodes 133 through via 137.
